It would have been easy to be angry, but Michael found himself devoid of even irritation. Dr. Weston was forcing an issue dangerous for all of them. Not even he knew the answer, much of it depended on chance and common sense. He had done things Tony said was insane to even dream of attempting. Another time, he had nearly burnt down his house doing something 'even a child' - in the drunk bastard's words - should be able to comprehend.
However, Dr. Weston's simple honesty was what he appreciated. She had been thrown into something she had no idea about, and just wanted to know if she could sleep without worrying about death. It was a concern that resonated with him.
"Not soon enough,"
was his answer in a tone to match hers. "A week of intense training and they will have sufficient control to prevent another Julian. But if any of them attempt to experiment by themselves..."
He left the implications to her imagination. Not through attempted deceit. He could not predict what would happen. Maybe nothing, but maybe had never made sleep easy.

"She saw a flaring halo around his head, radiant in gold and blue. It shouted of glory and power to come"
"No matter how fast light travels, it finds the darkness has always got there first, and is waiting for it."
